About Kolob Arch
Hike through a scenic landscape of juniper and oak brush, descending into the Timber Creek area and passing by cottonwoods and box elders. The trail rises to a low saddle that offers wide views of the surrounding mountains. From the Lee Pass route the path follows Timber and La Verkin Creeks to a viewpoint of a massive arch perched high on a canyon wall (Kolob Arch). The area is rich in wildlife, including reptiles, birds, and mammals, and offers awe-inspiring views of the Kolob Terrace.
